Fig. 7-10 describes flow chart, and the flow chart illustrates the exemplary of the ventilation for controlling silo storage equipment System and method various aspects.It should be understood that Detailed description of the invention multiple embodiments of this technology, and be not to be regarded as It is unique expression of this technology.Specific method box is for illustrating optional step or processing.Divide although being to be further understood that The box opened is illustrated as the step of separation, but can combine or modify in various embodiments these steps or processing, and wrap The combination or omission of the special characteristic of the variation of the sequence of step shown in including will be each fallen within the scope of this disclosure.
Referring to Fig. 7, an illustrative processing and system without heater or heat pump 21 totally start from acquisition can To include user's input of silo storage device parameter.For example, grains-type and target Measurement for Grain Moisture Content in silo can be with It is inputted by user, and is converted into desired put down via formula or for the look-up table in the controller of the input type of grain Hengshui divides range (to be herein " EQM " or " EMC ").Alternatively, user can directly input desired environmental balance moisture model Enclose (is herein " EQM " or " EMC ").
The external temperature sensor 31 and humidity sensor 32 provide data or signal to controller 26, the data or letter The EMC for the surrounding air that measurement obtains number is converted into box 100.Again, formula can be used by controller 26 Or look-up table is this time converted.If the environment EMC (or EQM) as box 102 is pointed out is located in the target zone of storage, Controller transmission signal so as box 104 is pointed out makes fan 20 with the operation of maximum speed.
If environment EMC is greater than target EMC range, or is less than target EMC range, make then controller sends signal Fan 20 is with the operation of the smallest speed.The minimum speed can be the fan of setting or the revolutions per minute (rpm) of motor.Example Such as, fan can simply be run with the speed of the one third of normal full speed.Alternatively, controller can be compiled Journey is to be calculated using pressure sensor 25, makes fan with desired defined minimum or minimum air velocity (CFM) it is operated.For example, fan speed adjusting to realization or maintenance can be by controller by the air velocity of silo About 5000CFM.
Another selection be so that the smallest fan speed correspond in silo every bushel of grain it is desired low or The smallest air velocity.For example, data or signal from moisture cable 34 can be used for calculating the amount of grain in silo with And the actual air velocity of the pressure sensor 25, it is CFM/ bushels actual with determination, and fan speed is adjusted, with reality Existing desired minimum or low CFM/ bushel, in jointly owned patent as mentioned above described in detail by that Sample.It is low in this way or the smallest CFM/ bushels can be about 0.1CFM/ bushels, it is to be typically enough to avoid dry front end Stagnation.Alternatively, the smallest CFM/ bushels can be between about 1/14 and 1/7CFM/ bushels, it is typically enough to protect It holds the fresh of grain and removes heat caused by any spontaneous heating as grain.
Referring to Fig. 8, it may include grain that an illustrative processing and system with heater 21, which normally start from acquisition, Storehouse stores user's input of device parameter.Other than above-mentioned parameter, which can be programmed with delta temperature (delta temperature, dT) range or bound.For example, user can input such dT data or it can be by It pre-programmed or is stored in the controller.In some cases, dT can indicate (for example, using moisture cable measurement) Temperature difference between the gentle indoor air temperature of grain.In some cases, dT can indicate that the gentle interior of surrounding air passes through Temperature difference after the heater (or heat pump) 21 between air.In some cases, dT can indicate the variation in cereal temperature. In some cases, it due to the limitation on heating (or cooling), can be used more than the dT range of one or all or limitation.
When dT is the difference of surrounding air and cereal temperature surrounding air EMC is in target zone, if ring Air themperature after border temperature or heating is for example higher than cereal temperature more than 10 degrees Fahrenheits, then fan will no longer operate. This is the acute variation in order to avoid cereal temperature in abnormal cases.No matter heat, cool down or is both needed to using surrounding air Carry out this verification.
Similarly, the grain caused by being due to operation fan or fan and heater as dT within scheduled period Temperature difference when, if cereal temperature increased above 10 degrees Fahrenheits within 24 hour period, fan, heater or this two Person will shut down or return to some minimum state.Again, this is the play in order to avoid cereal temperature in abnormal cases Strong variation.No matter heat, cool down or be both needed to using surrounding air to carry out this verification.
DT is also possible to air (the i.e. air themperature as caused by heater or cooler after surrounding air and heating The amount of variation) between temperature difference.For example, if it is the early stage being dried and has many remaining times to reach dry Dry target, then the controller can be set as only heating/cooling air is desired to realize to for example +/- 3 degrees Fahrenheit EMC.If for the drying demand that is inadequate and still having significant quantity that dry felicity condition usually occurs, the limit System can be released for example +/- 7 degrees Fahrenheit or bigger range to be heated or cooled.Similarly, above-mentioned to refer to Each of various temperature difference limitations can be set to wider to realize more full speed running times.In addition, various dT Each of range or limitation can be used alone or be used in any combination.
The middle part and right part path of Fig. 8 and the middle part of Fig. 7 and right part path it is similar.However due to the provision of heating Device, therefore grain can be aerated or adjusted be when environment EMC (or EQM) is higher than the target zone upper limit. If the dT of the calculating or measurement is less than the dT limit, increase heat to attempt to obtain the EMC sky provided by grain Target temperature required for gas.Because the heater is usually relatively small, it is thus possible to exist with fan full speed running and Heater with maximum capacity carry out operate the case where still air being insufficient to allow to be heated enough amounts.Consequent, control Device processed can send instruction or signal etc. so that the speed of fan reduces, and the target T until obtaining the indoor air of gas is Only.
Referring to Fig. 9, shows and be provided with the example that the temperature of the permission surrounding air of heat pump 21 is heated or cooled Property processing and system.According to Fig. 9 together with other examples addressed here, each step and total processing should be obvious 's.
Referring to Fig.1 0, it shows and is provided with heat pump 21 (similar Fig. 9) and is provided with dT range or limitation (similar Fig. 8) One exemplary process and system.According to Figure 10 together with other examples addressed here, each step and total processing are answered When being apparent.
The separate equations that controller may use in this process or the example of calculating is provided below.
Embodiment step-does not include heater
1. obtaining EMC using (environment temperature+fan temperature increases) and RH.
Agricultural product water relation of the ASAE D245.5 based on factory
6.a RH=1-exp [- A (T+C) (MCD)^B]
Wherein for corn: A=6.6612E-05
B=1.9677
C=42.143
Or
6.b RH=exp [(- A/ (T+C) exp (- B (MCD))]
Wherein for corn: A=374.34
B=0.18662
C=31.696
Two formula may be incorporated for solving MCD(moisture content of butt)
2. being transformed into the moisture content of wet basis
Usually in Grain Development, moisture content is discussed as MCw(moisture content of wet basis).
MCw=100 (MCD/(100+MCD))
Equilibrium moisture content=MCw=EQM=EMC
In the flow chart, equilibrium water conten is abbreviated as EQM by us.Acceptable abbreviation in the industry is EMC.I Both EMC and EQM will be used alternatingly.
3. the limitation to gas chamber air EMC is arranged
In the present embodiment, without heater, the limitation of EMC up and down of wherein fan full-speed operation is set, it can be to gas chamber Air is measured to ensure it in the characteristic temperature numberical range of cereal temperature.
Once the fan can reduce outside these limit values/the smallest CFM or fan speed operation.
There is embodiment step-heating and cooling and heating/cooling degree to limit (since step 3)
3. the limitation to gas chamber air EMC is arranged
If the EMC is in upper and lower EMC limitation, and air themperature is in the range of degrees of the cereal temperature of setting, Then we allow fan to run.
If EMC is higher than target value, increase heat to improve the temperature of air and reduce RH.If unheated gas The EMC of room air is 17.0%, then increasing heat makes EMC be down to 15%.Due to the natural quality of formula 6.a and 6.b, this is tired Difficult, but can directly acquire heater and need increased Δ T.Alternatively, any one can be determined using both methods Want increased heat/temperature degree amount.
A. increasing temperature (T) once in formula 6.a.Calculate the RH that air is new after heating.New RH can be in look-up table It finds, or can be calculated in lattice.After air is heated, the partial pressure of water therein is kept constant.It can be by each Kind empirical equation estimates that saturation pressure, the formula can for example be obtained from following documents: F.P.Incropera and D.P.DeWitt, Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer, 4th Edition.
The formula is as follows:
Since we can substantially estimate new saturation pressure (Pvs) and we can know in air from environmental condition The partial pressure Pp of water, therefore we can calculate new RH now.
Using the new temperature of air and RH, the EMC that air is new after heating is calculated.Continue to increase T and calculate new RH until Until EMC reaches target.Temperature change required for now is calculated and heater can be by this new temperature As target.
B. alternatively, beginning to warm up air and measuring obtained gas chamber T and RH.Gas chamber EMC is calculated when T increases and adjusts T Until EMC reaches target.
Here two methods are equally effective;However first method allows controller without really heating air And/or determination will need how many T in the case where operation fan.This is especially desired in the following cases: if necessary Heat input is more than the ability of heater or if the raised degree of temperature is more than heating/cooling degree restriction of setting.
Above-mentioned paragraph summarizes according to flow chart and adjusts B.T if necessary increased above setting the limit, then I Will adjust H terminate, wherein adjust H in, fan speed will be set at the smallest CFM and heater will maintain the realization phase Temperature required for the EMC of prestige.
It returns to and adjusts B, if the heat demand from heater has been more than the amount that heater can export, we will be replaced Generation ground, which reaches, adjusts C.
A. the above method (a) is utilized, we will determine the amount of increased T required for realizing desired EMC.For example, if Need the temperature rise of 6 degrees Fahrenheits to realize desired EMC, then the estimation or known CFM that fan can be used determine heater The British thermal unit (BTU) needed.
I.BTU input=1.08*CFM (Δ T)
B. method (b) is utilized, we can simply run fan and heater, and if reaching desired EMC Heater reaches maximum output before, then it is known we be more than heater output.
In the scheme of the two, if ours is next we determined that the heater cannot export the heat of needs Step will reduce fan speed.The speed of fan is lowered, until heater output is enough to realize EMC appropriate.
It should be noted that for all these schemes, we always can with core gas chamber air themperature setting grain In the range of degrees of temperature.If it is outside the range of setting, again, the fan is operated with minimum air flow setting.
Above-mentioned adjusting is shown in following charts.
The above description of embodiment is provided for the purpose of illustration and description.It is not intended to exhausted or limitation The disclosure.Although and it is not specifically shown or described, the individual unit or feature of specific embodiment are generally not to be limited To the specific embodiment, but it is interchangeable in the applicable case and can be used in selected embodiment.It can Identical part is changed in various ways.Such change is not viewed as deviating from the disclosure, and all such modifications It should be regarded as being included within the scope of the present disclosure.
